Fingers close around the dust of you
Breathe it in, never to forget
Lost underwater for a thousand years
Why you left,
I’ll never understand
It’s neverending
We crossed the ocean for a taste of it
Young and blind, we knew not what we did
All the sons and daughters of a thousand men
Disappeared.
I’ll never understand
It’s neverending
We’re so close now
My vision clears
A pale separation
Our innocence is poison thin
Drowning in the refrain
I dreamt of you, a better place
Caught by the arm extended
And I’m not scared of who I am
I hope that you understand.
Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
